Membership is open to anyone interested in pole-lathes or greenwood crafts, whatever their level of competence. By joining the APT&GW you are becoming part of a worldwide group of people interested in green woodworking.

 

There are opportunities to meet people with the same interests by joining a local group, find out who are running courses, and also discover who is making tools – and who will make one to your specification!

​

We have a single membership rate of £20 per year and membership runs from January to December of each year.

The APTGW is run by volunteers for everyone’s benefit – you too can get involved and make new friends in the process.

​For just £20 a year, you get;

​

• A quarterly Gazette with news views and articles on all aspects of green woodworking

• The ability to attend the UK Bodger's Ball always held in mid-May (this is chargeable!)

• The opportunity to win prizes for your creations at the many craft competitions at the ball

• To meet hundreds of other Bodgers and Green Woodworkers

• To learn new skills in masterclasses

• To attend and participate in the Annual General Meeting which is held at the Bodgers Ball

• A vote on how the organisation progresses and elect, or even stand for the committee!

• The opportunity to purchase very reasonably priced insurance for teaching or demonstrating

​

​​​We look forward to hearing from you, and welcoming you to the Bodgers!
